Make it possible to read partial DVI files, i.e.
without depending on the presence of a postamble.
This would make it possible to do `incremental' display
of a DVI file while it is compiled.
It requires that font setup doesn't depend on the
postamble, as it currently does (`read_postamble' in
dvi-draw.c). It would also allow for PK creation
on-demand (or in batch, while xdvi waits for events)
instead of at startup as it is now (even though this
point has become less urgent with t1lib).

(FWIW, the use of a backup file in xdvik-22.76-RC1 has made
this request somewhat less pressing).
